GREAT SPLENDOR TO MARK THE OCCASION Royal Couple With Young Prince of Wales to Be Given in Famous Coach of Gold and Glass. (American Nwi Service) Iondon, Feb. 4. Amid all the traditional pomp and dignity of past centuries, King Georgo V and Queen Mary will open parliament on Monday. No detail that will add to the splendor of tho occasion will bo omitted, and It will undoubtedly bo tho most Important nodal and political event preceding the coronation. Tho royal couple accompanied by tho young Prince of Wales will, be driven from Ituckingham Palace to the parliament building In the great stale coach of gold and glass, which reminds one of a fairy book illustration come to life, and seems strangely out of place in this age of democracy. Hut Kngland and Englishmen love tho splendor of royalty, and are exceedingly proud of their ancient customs. The six magnllccnt chargers which draw tho royal vehicle, will present a brilliant spectaclo with their harnesses of gold and silver, and the gaily costumed footmen will walk on either side. On ecah side of the coach will march a yoeman of the guard in his quaint uniform, and a TTHoutlted "equerry. Lift Guard Prectda. Preceding the coach will be the ' rovercign's life guards, and the van of the procession will be made up of members of the royal household in their carriages. The route of the pu grant will be along the Mall from llucklnghnin Palace, across the Horse Guards' Parade into Whitehall and so on to tho house of lords. Here there will be another procession headed by the king and queen from the robing room to the two tbones. Preceding the royal couple j will be three dignitaries bearing the sword of state, the cap of maintenance, and the crown. The thrones where the royal couplo will sit are two heavily carved oak chairs, surmounted by ' crowns and ornamented with gilt and crystal. The feet rest on Hons and more lions are enamelled in blue on the backs of the chairs. Each chair is embroidered in silk with , the designs of the royal standard, and at the top of the chair backs at each corner are the Hon and the unicorn. Tho king and the queen will wear tho royal robes of deep crimson velvet lined and caped with ermine. Seated in the front benches will be ' tho peers clad in their scarlet and ermine, and Immediately behind them, the peeresses. -The diplomatic representatives of the various countries will also bo present in their multicolored uniforms trimmed with gold lace. An Important Event. Politically, the opening of the present parliament Is a most Important event. It practically . marks a new era in BrltUh politics, as the house of lord will be compelled to pass the famous veto bill which will greatly curtail their power. This veto measure was the direct result of the lords failure to pass Lloyd George's famous, budget in 1909 which resulted in tho dissolution of parliament In January 1510. The liberal party was agait returned to power, and the lords were compelled to swallow the budget. In order to prevent any such crisis In the future a measure was drawn up by the government leaders depriving the lords of any voice in financial measures, but it was known at the time that the peers would not accept the measure. The death of King Kdward last spring put an end to the differences between the two bod I os for tho time being, and King George then made an attempt to adjust the matter by a conference of tho leaders on both sides. This lasted all summer long and through the fall, and when parliament reassembled last November, it was announced that no agreement had been reached. The bouse of commons proceeded immediately to pass lremler Asqulth'a veto resolution, but this was Ignored by the house of lords. A (Continued on Paeo Ten.) THE WEATHER STATE ANO LOCAL Increasing cloudiness, probably,- followed by rsin or snow; moderate west winds, shlftlna to east.

RUMPUS III SENATE COMESJHIS WEEK Insurgents and Bi-partizans To Make Demonstration Over Bill Shively. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 4. Another fight between the Insurgent members of the senate and the bl-partizan machine of Democratic and Republican leaders may be expected -next week, - Sen. Shively will call up his bill for the recall of county, township, town and city officials. He expects to have It set for a special order of business. An onslaught against the bill is expected, although some of the insurgents who are setting great store by this particular measure are expressing hope that the members of the machine, in an endeavor to refute charges that they are tricking the people will pass It But they are not pinning any great confidence in this. Instead, they are mustering the popular forces. It is be lieved the expose of the bi-partisan machine has thrown too strong a light on' some of the senators connected with it and that they may support some pop ular measures for effect If for no other reason. The Shively bill provides an officer may be recalled by popular vote, the election being caused by a petition of twenty-five per cent of the voters, with five per cent of the voters making affidavit that they believe the charges against the officer are true, and two and one-half per cent freeholders. This cannot be done before the officer has been a public servant for at least six months. The Grube bill providing the referendum for cities was posted for third reading several days ago and will be brought before the senate in an attempt to pass it next week. It has not been set as a special order of business. When Senator Grube attempted to bring it up Friday the machine downed the move. There is sure to be a battle on this bill as there-was on its second reading and amendment. The ominous appearance of the ruling element has caused Senator .Car.el: ton to decide not to introduce his public utilities bill this season. He has had it ready several weeks. Carleton ban been voting independently and now the opposition to the utilities bill appears so strong that there would be small chance of getting it through. The senator intends to make a special study of the subject for two years in tho hope. If he Is re-elected, of passing it next session.

FLAYS 0, H. LACKEY WITH COAL POKER . In Alleged Marital Troubles, "Wifey" Gets DecisionHusband Locked Up.

With blood trickling from under his hat and running down bis face, David H. Lackey staggered from the front door of his home, 653 South II street, about 11 o'clock last evening and called to Patrolman Frank Reman ert,-w ho xatr rounding the. corner a short distance away, to; summon a doctor. A few moments before Lackey's bead had been the landing point for a vicious blow from an iron poker wielded by his wife, following a -quarrel upon Lackey's return home late after an evening's carousal. In answer to Patrolman Remmert's question "What's the matter?" Lackey lifted his bat and the blood, oozing from the severe wound, which had been held in check by the band of the hat, rushed in streams down bis face, obliterating bis features. Horrified at the bloody spectacle, and believing the man 'to have been perhaps fatally wounded, the patrolman rushed to a telephone and notified the night sergeant on duty at police headquarters that a man had been "scalped." The pressure of the hat band around Lackey's forehead had. left a long bloody strehk which gave the impression of a gash. Lackey was rushed to the city jail where he was attended by Dr. F. W. Krueger. An examination showed a large, but not serious gash on the top of his head. ' The cut had severed a small artery from .which a large amount of blood had flowed. Very little was learned last evening as to the cause of the wife's dras tic action. . All that Lackey told the police was that he had had trouble with his wife immediately upon arriving home, and that following a few hot words she suddenly grabbed the poker he said, -and , landed the- blow before he realized hr intention. . The affair will be investigated further by the police. r TO' SAVE LORIMER Friendly Senators Plan Two Courses to Do This. (American News Service) Washington. Feb.' 4. Realizing that

RECIPROCITY BILL ENTERING WEDGE

Absolute Free Trade Between Canada and the U. S. Is Likely. (American News Service) Washington, Feb. 4. The house committee on ways and means decided today to close all hearings on the Canadian reciprocity tariff bill until nextJTuesday. It is, expected the bill will be reported without change to the house on Friday and probably will be passed with little debate. The friends of President Taft admit the pending bill is more than an entering wedge to a more complete tariff treaty with Canada, under which it is hoped to wipe out the dividing line entirely and have absolute free trade. The administration apparently plans to "go before the country" on the reciprocity issue. President Taft J will speak on Lincoln I?ay in Chicago and on the same afternoon will talk reciprocity to the Illinois legislature. The day before he speaks at Columbus, Ohio. His themes will be largely reciprocity. Secretary of Statet Knox has been asked to appear before the commercial bodies of Chicago and in a speech he will make it plain that the popular demand is for reciprocity.

Quantities of Cold Storage

Products to Be Placed on Market Immediately. THIS, WITH WARM WEATHER, WAS CAUSE Reduction in Other Commodities General, Butter Even Affecting Lard Prices Coffee Higher. ' When the bottom fell out ot esrs prices tho other day, resulting in that commodity dropping from 35 to 40 cents a dozen to 25 cents, housewives heaved a big sigh of relief fried eggs and cake began to appear with regularity on the tabic. If the open weather continues warm, eggs will remain at a low figure, grocers say, but in case of snow or a freeze there will be another advance. Eggs are not as plentiful at three or four days ago, but there is no present reason to anticii'jtn o crinrt t errs Prices of eggs got their first blow wbeu government inspectors ordered, several million dozen placed on the i market from a Chicago cold storage j house, a few weeks ago. Farmers ; say that local prices. are due to the' warm weather, v,uuunj ""' been very plentiful until a few days ago. Besides the egg drop a heavy downward fluctuation was mauifested in butter prices when three million pounds were suddenly thrust on the markft. The drop is not marked toany great degree here, the price on first class country butter standing at 30 cents and on first class creamery butter at 32 cents. Prices six months ago ranged from 5 to 10 cents higher on the pound. Creamery men say that a further drop in butter "is probable provided the warm weather continues. This three million pound lot of cold storage butter, also is said to be responsible for the drop in heavy hog prices, because a cheap grade butter is being used instead of first class lard. The sale of lard has decreased several percent within a month, according to Richmond butchers. A drop of a few cents is shown on all grades of pork, a great quantity of which is now being, disposed of by lo cal meat men. Pork chops are now being sold at retail at 15 to 18 cents, while a year ago the prices ranged from IS to 20 cents. Hams and shoulder meats are going afclo to 18 cents per pound, a drop of four cents from this time last year. Bacon ranges at 15, IS, and 20 cents a pound. In 1910 it was selling between 20 and 30 cents. Cattle prices are not changing greatly, although steaks are one or two cents cheaper than last winter. Coffee Increased. Only one important grocery commodity shows an increase of price, this being coffee, especially in the cheaper grades. Cheaper grades have gone up from 10 to 15 cents a pound and the more expensive grades, over SO cents per pound, have increased about 5 cents on that amount. Wholesale grocers say this raise is due to bad crops in Brazil, where most of the American coffee is grown. Several years ago, caused by a big de cline in price, the Brazilian coffee planters, let their plantations run down considerably. In the last two years, the government or mat country has offered money to planters to renew their coffee fields. ' Grains have declined only a few cents. The present quotations are. corn", 43 cents per 70 pounds; No. 2 wheat. 93 cents per bushel; rye, 65 to 70 cents per bushel. Flour made from winter-wheat retails at 70 cents, and spring wheat flour at 90 cents. i ,v DIFFERENT AT CHICAGO. (American News Service) , Chicago.' Feb. 4. Despite tho announcement of the commission men that the whole sale prices of butter and eggs 'had gone on the toboggan, retailers in Chicago today continued to charge the same prices, that they have charged during tbe week. Butter sold for 30 cents a pound and the best egg3 brought 29 cents. They were non-committal when asked when they were to lower their prices. INSTALLMENT HOUSE BILL IS OPPOSED (Palladium Special) Indianapoii3. Feb. 4. Rep. Spencer's bill for regulating sales by Installment houses has stirred up a storm of opposition from persons engaged in this business throughout the state. Saturday morning many members of the lower houses received telegrams from installment concerns in their cities telling them to vote against the measure. The bill provides that when a concern takes back goods sold on. the installment plan it shall return to the purchaser all the" money he has paid over, less only a reasonable amount for the use of the property daring the time K has been ia his possession.

The police were notified that a man had died suddenly, and the coroner was telephoned. Superintendent of Police, Gormon, in response to the call, entered the room lwhile-4.he few ,. men assembled stood back, with heads bared tn reverence to the one thought departed. Bending over the prostrate form, the chief's Eense of smell at once became aware of fumes of "the moisture that thrills" wafting up from the general direction of the man's breathing apparatus. A touch and then a shake followed, and as if by magic McCutcheon t opened his eyes and looked stupidly around. The usual treatment in extreme cases was administered and McCutcheon soon had the normal appearance of a man bearing up under a severe load. The coroner's cp.11 was canceled and the police chief departed. McCutcheon had spent the greater part of the evening in an attempt to drink Richmond dry and had then gone to the hotel. It is believed that the heat from the stove, in close proximity to which he was sitting, caused the faint which dropped him to the floor. A half quart of whiskey was taken from his pocket by the police to be kept until a later date, in order that a repetition of the performance may "be avoided tomorrow. Chas. A.

Hundreds of Tickets Sold

Saturday and Success of Event Now Is of a Positive Quantity. , DOMESTIC SCIENCE INTERESTS WOMEN Departments in Poultry, Agriculture, Dairying, Etc., Draw - Hundreds Begins Monday-Afternoon. All day Saturday the farmers of (h!s vicinity, who came to tho city for tho week-end buying In larger numbers than is usual for this time of year, flocked to the Commercial club rooms where tickets for the Short Course and Corn school are on sale, and also . sought out tho various committeemen who have tickets for distribution, and from the sales which resulted, it' seems there can be no doubt but that the hopes of the school officials will be realized when the instruction and demonstrations begin on Monday with an enrollment of between 1,500 and 2.000. .-. ' ':': ;v,vy;.: Many subscriptions for tickets were received by mail in response lo letters sent broadcast over tho Sixth district, and portions of Ohio, and while it was impossible to determine the exact enrollment Saturday evening it was believed at that time to be in excess of 1,000. The day's results were just In accordanco with tfie statements of the school officials that the securing of , tickets would bo deferred until the last possible moment and then a rush . would , ensue. A large number of tickets aro expected to be disposed of on Monday .morning, when the registration of students will take place. , - Tho counties expected to furnish the greater portion of tho enrollment ar Wayne, Randolph," Henry, Fayette, Union and Franklin in Indiana, and Preble and Darke county In Ohio. While the Short Course and Corn School is primarlay and priricipally for the farmers of this section, it Is also believed that many residents of Richmond and surrounding towns will take advantage of the opportunities offered and a large membership of persons , of this class is anticipated. Especially in the domestic j scjence . courses is thia expected to be the case. Tho women of the city along, with the housewives o( the rural vicinity have taken an active interest in the plans for tho course, whlch is believed will prove one of the most popular,, entertaining and valuable from an instructive standpoint of any. in the school. The prizes to be awarded for the corn exhibits on Saturday were placed in the Leeds building, where the en tries will be on display, and the largo room was put in condition to receive the corn from the farmers Which will begin arriving on Monday. Officials of the corn show hope to have more than 100 exhibits of corn. From the interest manifested by the ; farmers and their declarations of intention to enter for the competitive prizes, it seems that this number at least will be secured. To Auction Prize -Corn. In order that the expense of the rrizes, which are among the most; valuable ever offered at any exhibit of this nature in the county, may be j met, the. corn which is placed on cx-; hibit will be sold at the close of thei, school to the . highest bidder. Some complaint Was at first made to thi3 1 by the farmers,v but upon explanation that this was necessary in order that!' they might.be given the opportunity, of bearing authoritative lectures and expert demonstrations regarding thej, most modern developments in sclent I- -fie agriculture, their acquiescence wasj forthcoming. It is hoped to obtain from $5 to $15 a bushel for the prizrv' winning corn and also for the other! exhibits. ':' It-was pointed out by the, school officials that if the farmer r.-, tained his entry it would be of little value to him as he can secure the best ; seed corn in the country at from $1.59 I to $2 a bushel, and by donating hit f exhibit he could contribute immensely to the support of the school which ia .. designed particularly ; for" his Tienefit. , Prof. G. I. Christie of the Purdue un-5 iversity, who will be at the bead of ; the school, will arrive in this city this If fnoon, accompanied by a corps ot instructors from the experiment sta" lion ard a car load of exhibits according to advices received by the local committee last , evening. Prof. Ch ristie in his communication was very enthusiastic over the outlook, declaring more headway had been made in the arrangements for the school here than In any other school in whicte he"ha been connected during the corresponding time.
